About this tour
A nine-hour private tour tracing the Amalfi Coast's most striking settlements, departing from Naples or Salerno. You'll descend into Positano, where pastel buildings tumble down cliffsides toward the beach, then climb to Ravello perched high above the Dragone Valley. Lunch takes place at a local restaurant with coastal views. Both towns reveal centuries of Mediterranean trade and architectural heritage—Moorish and Venetian influences woven into villas and streetscapes that have captivated visitors since the 14th century.
Highlights
- Positano's stacked village hugging dramatic cliffsides
- Lunch with unobstructed Amalfi Coast vistas
- Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo exterior views
- Private vehicle throughout, no coach crowds
- Ravello's perched position above the valley
What to expect
Expect a leisurely drive with switchback roads offering constant coastal panoramas. Positano's steep layout means wandering narrow lanes and discovering small piazzas; sturdy footwear helps. After exploring the village, you'll ascend to Ravello for a sit-down lunch at a family-run restaurant where tables overlook terraced lemon groves and the sea beyond. The afternoon focuses on the town's architectural landmarks—the two celebrated villas—and the gardens that blur the boundary between cultivated and wild landscape. Your driver handles parking and navigation; you set the pace.
Good to know
Villa entrance fees aren't included; budget accordingly if you wish to tour interiors. The coastal road is narrow with tight turns—not ideal if motion sickness is a concern. Wear comfortable walking shoes for village exploration. Bring sun protection; shade is limited in both towns.
